R3DN30N Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Getting started.In this GIMP tutorial i used two elements. the nuclear sign and the watercolor background so go ahead and download them from the following links. Nuclear sign: i can't remember where i got this freebie icon so I've placed it on our sever for downloadWater color texture can be downloaded from Go Media's free Watercolor Pack sampler, download Step 1Create a 600x450 image. if your going to use it as a wallpaper i suggest you create something bigger. Step 2Fill the background with black and place our nuke sign in the centre of the canvas. Step 3Now right click on the nuke icon layer and click on Alpha to Selection, then go to Filters>Light and shadows>Drop shadows, set the settings to Offset X:0, Offset Y:0, Blur radius:380, color a5ef17, Opacity 100 , and un-tick "Allow resizing". De-select selection by going to Select>None Step 4Now Repeat step 3 but this time set the blur radius to 100. Step 5Next open mdp-watercolour60.jpg from the zip file you downloaded off go media and open it in gimp, then resize it to 700x990 by going to Image>Scale image. Step 6Next change the image to black&white by going to colors>Desaturate. then go to colors> Brightness and contrastand set Brightness to -80 and contrast to 118. Step 7Now insert the watercolour image above all the other layers and then rotate the image on an angle of 128 and set the layer mode to Overlay. Step 8Next turn off the textured watercolor layer by clicking on the eye icon in the layer dialog this is so it doesn't get in our way. Step 9Next grab the Path tool and create a curved path. the idea is to start all paths from the edge of the icon, as if its coming from behind it. Step 10Create a new layer. change your foreground color to yellow fdf23c and with the path still active go to Edit>Stroke path and set the value to 3px.note* if your path disappears go to the paths dialog and right click>path tool. Step 11Select the easer tool, erase part of the overlapping line so that it looks like its coming from behind the icon. then use the Circle fuzzy (19) easer brush to get a faded effect for the end points. Step 12Next will add a glow to our stroke by going to the path dialog then "right click to > Path tool" on the path we previously drew.then select Circle Fuzzy (17) from the brushes dialog and go to Edit>Stroke Path and select "Stroke with paint tool. finally set the layer to overlay. Step 13As we did in step 11 use the Eraser tool to clean up the stroke ends. Step 14Create three more strokes each on there own layer with each layer's opacity set to 39. Step 15Using the same technique as the glow strokes in step 12, will create some particle effects on two of the paths. Create a new layer, Go to the path dialog then "right click> Path tool" on the path we previously created. Then select Sparks from the brushes tab and go to Edit>Stroke Path and select "Stroke with paint tool. repeat this to the top left stroke and when your done set layer mode to Overlay. Step 15We could stop here but i think this adds a nice touch to it :) with the "spark brush" randomly apply some here and there, not so much though. Step 16Re-activate the watercolour texture layer by clicking on he eye icon and set its Opacity to 85. and thats it :) Credit To GIMPER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Jono Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have a feeling this is just copy-pasted from somewhere. This explains the absence of links and the "Credit to GIMPER".

Guest KAJN Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Actually they are when stupid people do it. Even if he said "DON'T RIP" it's clearly that that person knows the you shouldn't even put your hands on it. If that person made the tutorial then it's his idea, not yours which means this is a clear rip. T.T Let's leave it to blood rose to decide.
